Emily Calloway runs the village surgery of Dr. Hartley and Dr. Hargrove with quiet, unfailing competence and asking for very little in return.'What would I do without you?' Dr. Hargrove says more than once. But when a beautiful blonde arrives at the surgery one afternoon with monogrammed luggage and every appearance of belonging at Dr. Hargrove's side, Emily discovers there are some heartbreaks no amount of discipline can keep neatly contained, and Dr. Hargrove will discover exactly what life without Emily Calloway is like. This is a vintage old school Mills & Boon-style inspired tale, but with a stronger heroine, and a little grovel thrown in.

A story about a smart woman who loves her husband, her son and her life. When she learns that her husband isn't the man she thought he was, she works on giving her son the life he deserves. It's also about a lying and cheating man, who thought he was clever enough to avoid honesty and accountability in his life. Sometimes making a mistake and then sincerely apologizing, just might just not be enough. "Mommy, why is daddy and that lady nakey hugging?" My son innocently and loudly asks, while his father seems to be trying to locate his pants. Spoiler alert, they are on the floor under my feet, by the door, not anywhere near where he and his 'nakey' friend are sprawled on the couch. The woman shrieks, Kayley and I both fumble for the light switch just as River hits the button for daddy's 'magic office windows', which are now fully visible to the entire office floor, and all 127 employees are staring at and sharing my horror as my husband and his whatever she is are naked and trying to get dressed. Well damn, happy Wednesday to me.

Marriage did not break Aeries. It eroded her slowly. Five years ago, she married Mateo out of obligation after one reckless night left her pregnant with twins. What began as duty became routine, and routine became survival. Mateo provided everything a woman was supposed to want: a beautiful home, financial security, a complete family. Except fidelity. Aeries spent years swallowing lipstick stains, unfamiliar perfume, late-night excuses, and the humiliation of being loved only when Mateo feared losing her. Every betrayal ended the same way-flowers, vacations, apologies whispered against her skin, and promises that never lasted long enough to matter. Until one day, she stopped crying. And that terrified Mateo more than her tears ever did. As Aeries grows colder and more distant, an old childhood friend returns and reminds her of the woman she used to be before marriage reduced her to merely surviving. For the first time in years, she begins to wonder if love is supposed to feel this lonely. But when she finally leaves, Mateo realizes too late that the wife he took for granted was the only person who ever truly loved him. Now, after destroying the woman who stayed through everything, Mateo is left with a painful truth: Sometimes love does not die all at once. Sometimes it disappears quietly. And sometimes, the cruelest thing in the world is realizing someone stopped loving you long before they walked away. (The plots of my stories are originally mine, but I had help with AI in writing the prose. This is just experimental and for fun. I have another account where I actually do it traditionally)

I stayed when I shouldn't have. I stayed through half-listened conversations and promises that disappeared the moment someone else needed him more. I told myself I was overthinking. That things would change eventually. So I learned how to swallow my discomfort. My loneliness. My doubts. Until everything fell apart. Now I can't stop wondering why it took almost losing my life to finally understand what I already knew all along: I should've left him long ago. .............

[ONGOING] DEREK I loved my wife. I still do. But love didn't stop me from choosing desire over loyalty-or convincing myself I'd fix the damage before she noticed. I thought regret would be enough. It wasn't. MALORY When I discovered my husband's affair, I stayed for our daughter. She was only eleven months old, and I refused to give her the childhood I survived. But three years of empty rooms, broken promises, and watching him choose another woman carved something hollow inside me-until someone else filled it. I finally realised, my daughter deserves more than an absent father. And I deserve better than a cheating husband. Cancelled Mistakes is a dark, emotionally raw story of betrayal, forbidden love, and the brutal truth that some choices destroy everything-and asking forgiveness doesn't mean you deserve it. This book is strictly for mature audience🔞 Trigger warnings: This book contains on-page cheating.

Olivia was everything to Xander Thorne-his reason to breathe, the center of his world. She was the bright light in his dark empire, the promise of a life he never thought he could have. Their love was all-consuming, fierce and tender, built on whispered dreams of a future they'd both believed in. But when Olivia was framed for a betrayal she never committed, everything they shared was put to the ultimate test. Instead of standing by her side, Xander let doubt and fury blind him. In a single night, he tore apart the life they had built-burning not only her art but the memories that meant everything to her. Now, standing in the wreckage of what they once shared, he sees the truth. And it's enough to break him. Because Olivia wasn't just his wife, wasn't just the woman he'd built his future around-she was the air he breathed, the blood in his veins. And without her, he's nothing. He'll do anything, risk everything to win her back. To prove that what they had wasn't just a dream lost to ash. Because she's still his world. And he won't stop fighting for her, no matter how much she hates him.

Seraphina Hayes always believed she would recognize betrayal if it ever came near her marriage. She imagined it loud. Obvious. Unforgivable. She never imagined it would look like this. Like her husband smiling at another woman the way he used to smile at her. Like late-night messages that weren't inappropriate - just intimate. Like emotional comfort slowly being outsourced. And she definitely never imagined standing outside a glass office in downtown Los Angeles... Watching her husband hesitate before pulling away from another woman's lips. The kiss wasn't hungry. It wasn't desperate. It was worse. It was familiar. And in that single second - She realized she had already been replaced emotionally long before that moment happened. She didn't scream. She didn't storm in. She simply turned... And walked away from the life she thought was unbreakable. Sequel of the novel tilted 'Unfaithful Promise' is out. Do read
